Yeah, the pop tarts and toastems of old were superior compared to today.Let me put this thread to bed................In the late sixties they came out with Toastems. Poptarts about the same time. None of that fcknnn frosting bllshttt. Toastems had cherry, blueberry and brownsugar cinnamon. AWESOME stuff for breakfast if you doused them in melted butter. They actually put filling in them. Poptarts in that time were like the 3* version with Toastems as a 5*. Fast forward to 2000. Poptarts are ok. Hard to find them without frosting. But they put shttty amounts of filling in them. I do see toastems in Walmart but they Are NOTHING like the ones from the 60s. BTW toaster strudels are a shell of themselves too. They were pretty good years ago but now suck..........much like anything else they have fckkd with to save money
The fillings were “different”. I’m actually not sure what is in a “blueberry” pop tart.
It’s the same thing with “Eggo’s”.
When they first came out they were actually thick and more like a real waffle.
Now, you can almost see through them.
Streudels were awesome when they first arrived too.
